How we work these numbers out
  • Order. “Best match” puts schools where your exact word comes up first. “Most talked about” uses the share of reviews that mention it. Neither is a ranking of how good a school is.
  • Comes up in X% of reviews is the share of the school's reviews that mention your search. The Brisbane average is the same share across all Brisbane schools.
  • Speak well, mixed or raise concerns is worked out by software, using only the sentences about your search. It's right most of the time but not always, so read what people said.
  • What students did comes from the sports and activities former students ticked in their review. We show it when at least 3 answered.
  • Evidence is strong when 5 or more of at least 10 reviews mention it, some when 2 or more people do, and thin when only one person does.
  • Facts such as fees, ATAR and enrolments come from each school's own documents. Fees cover different year levels at different schools, so compare carefully.
  • Open Day Reflections come from our visits to 2026 open days. They're useful, but they reflect the school's own voice.

    Review Balancing academics and wellbeing

    I think the school tries to balance academics with well-being, but sometimes the focus on results can overshadow the support for students’ mental and emotional health. It could do more to ensure that students aren’t just academically prepared but also supported in other areas of their development.

    Review Expectations versus reality

    I expected strong academics, and the school delivered that, but it lacked personalized support for struggling students. It focused more on grades than overall growth.

    Review Year 12 subject choices

    I did English, Methods, Biology, Health and Japanese. I chose these subjects because I was aiming to get a specific ATAR to do the course I wanted in Uni. Additionally, I figured that biology and health would also help me in my future nursing studies. I do not wish I chose differently because I enjoyed each subject thoroughly.

    Review Subject range and curiosity

    Yes, there were a diverse list of subjects for students to pick from that reflected a range of interests. The only downside is that there’s only a limited amount of languages that are available to study and I wished there was more.

Reviews come from parents and former students whose link to the school we've checked. Open Day Reflections come from our recordings at 2026 open days. Words in [brackets] were unclear, and […] marks a skipped part. They reflect the school's own voice, so read them alongside the reviews. How reviews work
